Bruce Nauman — Doe Fawn
Bruce Nauman

Doe Fawn

"Doe Fawn" is a color lithograph by Bruce Nauman printed on Roll Rives paper, showcasing the artist's characteristic exploration of language, perception, and visual ambiguity. The work plays on the homophonic relationship between "doe" (the female deer) and "dough" (the substance), a wordplay typical of Nauman's conceptual approach to art making. Created with the artist's signature bold, gestural aesthetic, the lithograph demonstrates his continued investigation into how language and image intersect to create meaning.
